VSD 6 Build 6 (Vista)

This is going to take a bit of explaining as I've not been unable to isolate the source of the problem. On a UK keyboard our "@" symbol is shift+' and not Shift+2 as on a US keyboard. ok so far?

I have a Flash form built in "Web Form Builder" - the resultant code is then pasted into an html box in VSD. All ok and works as expected, EXCEPT I can't input an "@" symbol in an "email address field". At first I thought it was something to do with the form itself, like a validation glitch but, if I run the form standalone (http://www.grass-media.info/contact.html) it works BUT if I then run it from within the site developed under VSD, I cannot input the "@" symbol and THEN, the standalone version doesn't work.

This suggests to me it's caching JS so, before every test, I empty the cache. Sometimes this WILL allow the standalone version to work BUT as soon as I run the site version, no @ symbol can be used.

I'm absolutely stuck on this one and never experienced anything like it before. It's alike a nationalisation issue which shouldn't be there!

I have tested in IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari. IE is the only one which works.

I should add that shift+2 inserts an @ symbol in any browser on any form but of course that's not very helpful for my UK users.

Hope than makes some sort of sense? Any ideas?

Make sure you don't have Transparency Background checked when you are creating the form...
